12/21/12 by Larry Enright



The premise is a creepy familiar yet, the story is a fascinating unique blend of a believable potential, and the prophecy that spawns it. The five main characters are a sensational group of interesting outcasts. Several times, Dr. Loeb the quasi-leader made me laugh and wrinkle my forehead. In my opinion he carries the story and provides the perfect personality and resume' to make it happen. His interaction with polar opposite, Bowen is entertaining and adds dimensional depth.

A fast-moving, quick read, this story is a clever scenario as the characters mirror the foundations of beliefs that surround the phenomenon. Please read, you will not be disappointed.

THE TOAST OF BROADWAY (An Omega-Alpha Mystery) by Ian MacGregger



I must say, I really love this book.

Usually, I do not comment too much on the actual writing that is best left to those whom are scholars of the language. I am humbled by those like my friend, and author, Margaret Jean Langstaff or to many @CedarHillPress; she is much more qualified to comment on the writing. I try to stick with the story. Nevertheless, I am extremely impressed by this author’s style.

Ian MacGregger’s work as a writer is fantastic. There is fabulous character within the sentences, without disturbing the language. Throughout the book, I felt as if I was reading a modern Sherlock Holmes novel.

I understand, there is clearly a subjective factor to style, and this one sure satisfied my personal novel taste buds. It is a story saturated in wonderful personality, and it fits perfectly with the characters.

Ian has created quite a collaboration of interesting, yet, unlikely characters. My favorite was the Scot, Ian, the assistant working with Anna, the paranormal detective. The two create a fabulous pair.

The mystery and mayhem is a wonderful journey filled with wild surprises to the end. You cannot possibly be bored as animals and wildly strange characters emerge to entertain from around the globe. Smooth, tight, and well written, I highly recommend this read.

THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF PRUNES by Margaret Jean Langstaff



A hoot & holler for this southern, redneck blast. All will enjoy the artfully simple southern idiosyncrasies masterfully written in Margaret Jean Langstaff’s, The Unbearable Lightness of Prunes. It was pure pleasure to experience the wonderful mix of characters in this lighthearted tale.

No exclusions, this is a wonderful read for anyone. A perfect story to load on a Kindle, you can’t go wrong. Enjoy the story of Jerrold and his aunt Ginny as they create prune pipe bombs and more. You can read this in less than an hour, and  I guarantee it will change the entire mood of your day.

This is southern humor at its Best. Likely, the most humorous book I've read!

THE YAAKMEN of TYRIE by Mark Paul Jacobs



After reading several books by Mark Paul Jacobs, I have to say, he has won my deepest respect as an author. Mark’s work is profound, intelligent, and wonderfully imaginative. The Sci-Fi Channel should take a serious look at his fascinating stories.

ROCK & ROLL HOMICIDE by R.J. McDonnell

The first in a series, I am looking forward to reading Rock & Roll Homicide, has brightened my reading list!

THE DAY GOD WINKED by Mark Paul Jacobs




Humankind's fascination with existence is infinite.The questions answered only lead us down a path scattered with a more incestuous need to know. Just days beyond the passing of my dear Dad, I ponder this thought and deliberate the circumstances presented in Mark Paul Jacobs', The Day God Winked.

Pete, a taxi driver, and recovering addict escorts the reader through an interesting view of a dynamic event. His experience provides a clever duality that serves to deepen the reader's contemplation.

The novella provoked several questions for me, but one remained with longevity. Is it more important to know the ultimate answer to our existence, or is it enough to know that our persona does not end? Perhaps, this changes with our lives. In the wake of my father's death, I think, I would choose to know and be happy with the infinite.

Mark Paul Jacobs is a talented, and very creative author, whom has developed an intelligent, and plausible explanation in THE DAY GOD WINKED!

FORMED OF CLAY by Thea Atkinson



A very clever author indeed created, Formed of Clay. Thea Atkinson immediately plunges the reader into a fabulous tale written in the style of an ancient mythological tale with Gods and Goddesses in a stunning mystical view of creation. This introduction provides the mood for a masterful dark ancient tale.

SEMPER AUDACIA by M. Pax



The title is awesome and sets the scene perfectly.  SEMPER AUDACIA  is a fascinating novella! MPax has built a dynamic world within the pages of an equally dynamic Science Fiction story that begs for sequels. I loved Leda a most interesting, alone through much of the story, she is an incredibly well developed character. However, I must return to the detail, MPax had me awe struck by the meticulous story she was able to create in the confines of a short story.

The ghost brigades, and the space outpost are just a couple of elements that escort the reader's mind through a wonderfully imaginative world. This is a great weekend read that will intrigue the most avid Sci-Fiction Fans.
